I make bagels at home, and to tell you the truth, it isn't that hard. The trick is using Malt Barley Syrup rather than sugar, and allowing the bagels dough (4 1/2 cups flower, 1 tbs syrup, 1 tsp salt, 1 1/2 cup water, 3 tsp yeast) to rise in the fridge over night (does great things for the flavor). Bake at 450 for 7 minutes, boil for 2-3 minutes (flip once), drain on a towel, glaze with egg white wash, and bake at 350 until golden brown. PS, real bakers don't use carmel coloring...

There is no argument that Slim's makes a good bagel, however, the best bagels in Queens are from "Utopia Bagels." No other bagel bakery comes close.
